Hmmm, not too sure about the CYA. Very weird. I'll try to do a quick overview; sick of opening a pool full of algae, and liner was bleached out, so decided to replace liner and fill with all new water. Unfortunately, before liner was replaced, pool company showed up without scheduling and started opening the pool. They removed two of the plugs, so all that algae water filled the plumbing pipes. I was very frustrated with them, but nothing I could do at that point.
Completely drained pool, liner was replaced, and fresh water added to fill pool. Was always worried about that algae water in the plumbing once we turned on the pump. Once the pump was turned on and new cartridges put in the filter, I never noticed any green water. But, before long there was brown algae on the steps and in the bottom of the pool.
I always get a little lost starting the pool in the Spring, and it is hard for me to understand this whole SLAM process. Not to mention how frustrating it is to literally pour money down the pool. We have put over 50 jugs of bleach in the pool, and yet we can't stabilize the FC. So, on to today. FC was 18 this morning, meaning we lost 6 over night. Put a jug of bleach in the pool, but by noon, the FC was down to 15. Purchased another 12 jugs of 10% bleach at Lowe's today. Added 1 1/2 jugs per PoolMath calculator. FC back to 23, with the target being 24.
Will this ever end?
